Manufacturing Makes A Difference

Want to help those around you, take care of the environment and work in a stable field making great pay? Manufacturing is just the place for you.

Gone are the days when manufacturing meant dark factories and long hours. More and more, manufacturing companies are clean and bright and focused on social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

WHAT WE CARE ABOUT

Many Colorado manufacturers use a sustainable business approach based on creating long-term customer AND employee value. Companies are doing their part to make the world a better place, care for the environment and thinking about every dimension of how the business operates in the social, cultural and economic environment. They invest in their people, technology, infrastructure and their communities as they build their businesses.

They are focused on improving processes to eliminate waste by using clean and green strategies. Many use Lean Manufacturing processes to achieve lower levels of waste, water or energy usage.

SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS WE MAKE

And there are terrific examples of manufacturers doing great things; like giving a portion of their proceeds to charity or allowing employees time-off to volunteer. Colorado is home to manufacturers that are socially responsible and generally spreading good.

Outcomes We Create

Manufacturing employers help communities. Here are some examples.
